Elvis Presley’s stepbrother David Stanley claims the singer died by suicide

Elvis Presley‘s stepbrother David Stanley claims that the King of Rock n Roll’s death was not natural and that he actually killed himself.

In a new Amazon Prime documentary about the King of Rock n Roll named Elvis’ Women, Stanley alleged,

“He premeditated taking the medications that killed him,”

The 85-year-old claimed,

“Love, hurt, pain, exposure — he just couldn’t take it any more,”

The series which premiered in May had Stanley say that his stepbrother couldn’t move on past his fears that his alleged affairs with teen girls would one day be laid bare in a book.

Stanley, who was also the Can’t Help Falling in Love singer’s entourage was apparently at Graceland when the latter died of a heart attack in August 1977.

His death was caused as a result of a drug overdose.

Presley’s stepsibling said in the series,

“His taste for young girls, aged 15 or 16, made me sick,”

He called it a miracle that the musician wasn’t busted.

David then alleged,

“He got away with things most people didn’t, because of his money, fortune, fame and power, charisma and magnetism. Elvis could talk the socks off [of] you.”

Apart from interviews with women who were reportedly pursued by Presley at a young age, the documentary also shows the singer’s relationship with his former wife Priscilla Presley.

Elvis and Priscilla tied the knot in 1967 when the singer was 32 and the actress was just 21.

The couple then welcomed a daughter named Lisa Marie Presley before calling it quits in 1973.

Presley’s estate is not happy with a new film based on his life

Elvis and Priscilla’s troubled relationship will also be shown in Sophia Coppola’s Priscilla which will premiere in October.

However, Elvis’s estate was not happy with the film and went on to call it horrible in a statement that was released on Thursday.

An official told TMZ,

“It feels like a college movie,”
“The set designs are just horrific, it’s not what Graceland looks like.”

Priscilla, on the other hand, has been very supportive of the movie and even acknowledged it on Instagram, writing,

“I am excited about the interpretation of my book by the masterful Sofia Coppola.”

“She has such an extraordinary perspective and I have always been such an admirer of her work. I’m certain this movie will take everyone on an emotional journey.”

The 78-year-old businesswoman and her late daughter were also very supportive of Baz Luhrmann‘s Elvis starring Austin Butler which came out in June 2022.

Just days before her untimely death, Lisa Marie attended the Golden Globes in January where she said,

“I really didn’t know what to do with myself after I saw it,”
“It was so incredible and so spot on and just so authentic.”
